Chapter 446 Mr. Huo, your wife is checking on you
Qiao Xi stretched out her hand, and drops of water dripped down her delicate skin.
She picked up her phone and looked through the messages. There were some caring messages from colleagues and friends at the hospital. There were also three missed voice calls from Shu Xue, and the pinned message from her husband hadn't sent anything.
Qiao Xi felt a little disappointed, but she still called Shu Xue back.
Shu Xue quickly answered the phone, her voice brisk: "Qiao Xi, did you arrive safely in the capital? You left so suddenly, there are some things I haven't had time to tell you."
Qiao Xi poked the bubbles in the bathtub boredly and asked, "What do you want to tell me? Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist."
Shu Xue smiled and said, "Don't pretend. I don't believe that if Zhou Yu knows everything, how could you two not know? Qiao Xi, you already knew that I was going to join the medical aid team in Africa, right?"
Qiao Xi's lips curled up slightly: "Yeah."
"Thank you for not questioning me in person." Shu Xue had a lot of emotions in her heart. Her mood recently was as thrilling as riding a roller coaster.
The depression in her eyes vanished. "Qiao Xi, I've decided to go to Africa. The hospital has approved my application, and you'll be able to see the official list tomorrow. As a friend, I wanted to tell you in advance."
Qiao Xi left in a hurry, and not knowing the progress of her relationship with Zhou Yu, she asked worriedly.
"Then what about you and Zhou Yu? You broke up with me one minute, and now you're going abroad. Isn't that the equivalent of a breakup? He's experienced Xie Liuzheng's abandonment, so it must be hard for him to accept it."
Shu Xue covered her mouth and laughed a few times: "I also thought that we were over. Unfortunately, my mother is so charming. He stuffed the household registration book into my hands while crying, and said that he would let me grow up freely. He will wait for me to come back to China, and then the choice will be mine."
She didn't expect that she would encounter such a good thing.
Qiao Xixing's eyes flashed with surprise: "Is this really something that Master Zhou did?"
"Yes! Speaking of which, he has to thank you. He said that after seeing the beautiful marriage between you and Huo Xingzhou, he began to believe that there are really people in this world who can support each other and stay together for a lifetime."
After hearing her words, Qiao Xi felt much more at ease.
"Shuxue, be careful when you go abroad. I also hope that you can find the meaning of life. In fact, you have always been very powerful in my heart."
Shu Xue's voice was a little choked with sobs. "Qiao Xi, you will always be my best sister. You are really dangerous in the imperial capital. I will wait for you to trample everyone in the Lu family under your feet. I will wait for you to see you at the top!"
Qiao Xi replied, "Okay."
Shu Xue hung up the phone.
Qiao Xi felt a little sad, but also happy that her sister could have the best of both worlds. She looked at Huo Xingzhou, whose phone was pinned to the top, and couldn't bear the longing in her heart, so she made a voice call.
After thirty-six seconds on the screen, the voice call was connected.
Qiao Xi heard a great deal of noise over there, with the crisp clatter of glass dishes colliding, and the sounds of many people talking and laughing. Judging from this, Huo Xingzhou was not at home.
She even heard some extremely exaggerated teasing from the other side.
"Mr. Huo, is your wife checking up on you? She's not home yet at this hour. Is she sleeping in the study tonight?"
"Haha, Mr. Huo's wife is not like the tigress in your family. She is a disciple of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She is gentle and considerate. At most, she misses our Mr. Huo."
Huo Xingzhou's low voice sounded: "Excuse me, I have to go out and answer the phone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he caused another round of good-natured laughter.
Qiao Xi heard the noise from the other side gradually decrease, and the man seemed to have walked into a quiet place. Tonight, his voice was a bit magnetic, and it came through the phone, even sexier than before.
"Qiao Xi."
He called the name in a soft voice.
Qiao Xi felt as if her ears were electrocuted and stimulated.
She unconsciously lowered her voice: "I'm here."
Huo Xingzhou's breathing was slightly heavier. He untied his tie and wrapped it around his fingers. The dark blue stripes made his fingers look even longer and whiter. He walked out of the Fuchun Garden box and leaned lazily against the archway as he spoke.
"Did anyone give you any trouble when you arrived in the imperial capital?" Based on his understanding of those people, it would be even more dangerous if he didn't do something small.
Qiao Xi's skin was slightly red from the bathwater. She spoke in a clear and soft voice, "It's just a little trick. I can handle it. They hired people to scam me. They were all scoundrels who didn't understand the law. They were quickly repelled."
He seemed to let out a low laugh, and then said, "The little doctor is really amazing."
Qiao Xi's ears felt hot.
She licked her dry lips and said softly, "If you were here, you would be able to handle it better. I also understand your intention of arranging Sun Shao to be by my side. He is indeed very capable in some aspects."
Sometimes Young Master Sun can lower his status and go crazy, taking people by surprise.
"He's best at doing shameless things. With him around, sometimes it's better than Xu Yunye. The Xu brothers are too serious. If you confront them head-on, you'll suffer."
Qiao Xi listened to his words and agreed with them deeply.
That's true.
Sun Shao seems unreliable, but he is very protective of his people.
Speaking of Sun Weimeng, Qiao Xi thought of another thing.
She bit her lip, her tone laced with hidden questions: "Young Master Sun said you coaxed him to come to the Imperial Capital. You said the beauties in the Imperial Capital are different from those in Haicheng, and asked him to come and experience it for himself. How do you know they're different? Have you experienced it before?"
There was a hint of jealousy in these words.
Huo Xingzhou held his phone, his lips curled up slightly: "There are always differences between the north and the south."
"Your words are so perfunctory. So what do you think are the differences between beauties in the north and south? Also, I just heard a woman's voice on your phone. Did you stay out all night after I left?"
Qiao Xi knew that he was not that kind of person, but she still felt jealous.
The joy of a couple lies in the little things in daily life, and listening to his affectionate and low voice is also a kind of enjoyment.
She really missed him, in every way.
"I'm entertaining people at Fuchun Garden tonight. Jin Kai and Zhou Yu are both here. You can call them and ask them about it. As for the differences between North and South Americans, I don't know the specifics. You can wait until Sun Weimeng experiences it before telling you."
Qiao Xi asked: "Then what do you know?"
His tone was doting and his voice was pleasant: "I know...my wife is different from other women."
Qiao Xi tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, and when she realized that he was not in front of her, she smiled silently.
Her back was pressed against the cold, hard bathtub, which hurt a little. She couldn't help but change her position, and the water made a loud noise.
The man on the other end of the phone heard it clearly and asked, "Where are you?"
Qiao Xi said softly, "I'm taking a bath."
The man's voice was tinged with laughter, and he repeated it as if hiding something: "Taking a bath?"
The voice call was disconnected.
Qiao Xi also wondered if the signal was bad.
Soon a video call request popped up on the phone screen.
